Hello everyone, I have a Galaxy Note i717 on stock ICS. I have had a custom rom on it before (CM10 nightly) but i reverted back to stock ROM. Well last night i found the Padawon ICS 6.2 ROM. So i downloaded it and put everything on the SD Card. Then went to google play and got a couple app to backup things like titanium backup and SMS backup. I am a frequent Tap Fish and Shipwrecked player so i backed them up in hopes to keep my game data. I also made a backup of current ROM. So i installed the ROM, went to the play store downloaded Titanium and went to restore apps and nothing was there. So i went and downloaded my games and i went back into Titanium backup and still no backups were shown. What did I do wrong? Is there any possible way to keep my game data when i switch roms?

Titanium should back up anything you tell it to on a rooted Phone, if it's not even backed up the app then you're doing something wrong.

Hi, i've got myself a new SGS2 a month ago (first android phone) and i rooted it with CF-ROOT yesterday.
Im running Android 2.3.3 with KF3 kernel, and my question is if i can try out CyanogenMod by using "Restore" in CWM, and go back to my own stock ROM when i please ? Will all of my settings and apps save when i'll jump back to stock ? i did a backup already (backup of apps and data aswell separately) and wanted to make sure before doing anything. Oh and, when i'll install CyanogenMod, will i be able to restore my apps AND all data (photos, videos, random files) on it ?

Yes it is possible to switch between the stock rom and cyanogen.
That's how I use it.
I have a backup of my stock rom and another with cyanogen on it.
Normally I use the stock rom. After a few new nightlies I make a new backup of my stock rom and restore my cyanogen rom. Then I update cyanogen to see what changed and if it is ready to be used as my daily rom. If it's not I perform a backup of my updated cyanogen and restore my stock rom.
And so on until Cyanogen is good enough.
Things like photos, video, music etc should be fine (which doesn't mean a backup isn't a good idea some people lost their pictures at the beginning.)
You could backup/restore your apps with Titanium Backup. But I wouldn't recommend it. It's better to start from a nice and clean source without old rubbish.

just remember your original kernel and ROM.. other than that everything should be fine. Always backup your backup lol
Im concerned about the upcoming update: Im using MIUI rom and i will swap to MIUI v4 (iCS) as soon as it comes out... but im tired of losing my user data between every rom swap...
I know Titanium Backup should be the way to do this... so, is it safe to backup all the apps and the apps' data and then restore it on ICS? even when the backup was made in a GB rom?
Any alternative way of doing so? What do you usually do / recommend to do?
Thanks!
You can back up and restore the apps no problem, though I would be careful restoring user data. What I do is restore all apps and use sms backup/restore for my texts and Google takes care of my contacts.

Well, I don't really think it should matter if the backup was done in GB and restored in ICS. One thing could happen, is that you may have been using an application that isn't yet compatible with ICS. Other than that, I don't really see why there should be a problem.
Have a good day.
The biggest problem is for the apps settings and games progress and so... with titanium backup, i should backup user apps + data and then restore it in ICS?

To be a 100% sure put the TB folder on your pc and on an external card.
I tried restoring TiBu apps backed up on GB when I flashed an LPQ ROM and TiBu hanged on some of the restores. I had to restart each time it hung on a restore. I tried using batch restore, and restoring individually, both ways it happened on different apps and the same app. It was weird because my SMS logs restored no problem but some of my apps could not. Luckily I had a Nandroid backup so I quickly went back to my daily driver.
Titanium backup likes a phone reboot after first install .
Install open reboot phone less likely to freeze or hang on backup .

i also had over 200 applications, out of which some randomly failed to install on CM9. After failure of restore, i again have to start restoring process in titanium backup from start leaving that applicatoin. Luckily, I dint find any problem in restoring to PURE ICS rom, it just resotred everything like a charm. Some applicatoin (like smartstats) were crashing after restore. I just wiped the data () and then it worked.
I am currently on CheckRom 6 and i want to update to an CM9 or AOKP based Rom. So which part of my backups (Titanium Backup &CMW) can be restored after the update? Nothing? Just apps? Apps & app data? SMS/MMS?
I read that there are Problems with CM9 and Titanium Backup. Does this also apply to AOKP?

You will get all your apps and data, but sms and contacts can somtimes fail restore as there are thr diffrences between diffrent roms.
Also for the CWM i am guessing that you mean nandroid backup, if so you will get all of you that. Check out my sig for a link to moving roms and backing up data.
Thanks. Yes, i meant a nandoid backup but i wanted to restore only the sms/mms via app extractor. But it is not a big deal if it does not work, sms are not that important.
For people who are interested:
My experiences for updating from CheckRom 6 to Resurrection Remix 1.8.1:
-restoring user apps with titanium backup: worked fine, no problems
-restoring sms/mms with SMS Backup & Restore (from Google Play): FC when opening sms app for the first time. Tried Go SMS and it worked fine, all old messages were there. Tried stock app a second time: works too, no more FCs.
Hello,
I played NOVA 3 on an AOKP (ICS) ROM and backed up the data using titanium backup. Then I flashed Helly Bean and tried restoring the files. But when I launch NOVA 3 it starts downloading data as well. Is there a way for me to restore my data (still have the titanium backup files) so as to continue my game instead of starting over?

Did you ever figure out an answer to this one? Our Nexus 7 got damaged. We replaced it & copied the NOVA 3 obb file from the backup to the new device, but the new game install seems to be ignoring it. We get the same behavior from every game we've tried, in fact. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong.
The old device was not rooted, so all we have is the obb file. The new device is rooted. The backup was made using rsync & restored using ssh.
Hey, I'm running PAC ROM on my Galaxy S4 and about a month ago I ran the app online nandroid backup and backed things up. Well the phone died so I bought the exact same phone, but when I restore the backup its as if I just installed that rom for the first time and setting it up. None of my apps or settings are there. Is there a way to restore this backup with my apps and settings as well? What am I doing wrong? Thanks

instead of app you should backup data using cwm recovery
it will make complete nandroid backup including all things
